| Título: | Upfront access payments, category management and the new regulation of vertical restraints in EU competition law : importing the retail side of the story | | Autor(es): | Ioannis Lianos | | Resumo: | By integrating more fully the retailer power story, the new vertical restraints guidelines and block exemption regulation provide for a more equilibrated regime for vertical restraints in Europe. The objective of the Commission was not only to address the important concern of retailer power and its possible anticompetitive effects in a retail sector that is characterized by increasing concentration, although not necessarily increasing profitability, but also to respond to the concerns (and political pressure) over big distribution and the power of multi-brand retailers that have been expressed at the national level, with the adoption of a hard or a soft law type of approach in order to regulate the relation between supliers and retailers. By bringing these concerns within the realm of EU competition law, the Commission offers an alternative relief valve that takes more into account the effect of these practices on consumers than the regulations adopted at the national level. | | Publicado em: | In: Revista de concorrência e regulação. - Coimbra : Almedina, 2010. - ISSN 1647-5801. - A. 1, Nº 4 (Out.-Dez. 2010), p. 169-191 | | Assuntos: | Direito da concorrência | Autoridade da concorrência | Autoridade reguladora | Restrições de concorrência | União Europeia | | Veja também: | Lianos, Ioannis | | Localização: | |

| Título: | The training of national judges on EU competition law | | Autor(es): | John Coughlan | | Resumo: | This article presents the main findings of a study recently published by the European Commission on the training needs of national judges in the field of EU competition law. The study, prepared by ERA, the European Judicial Training Network and Ecorys, proposes distinct training profiles, depending on whether judges deal with the public or private enforcement of competition law (or with State aid), the extent to which they are specialised in the field, and other factors that mean that the needs and numbers of judges dealing with EU competition law vary considerably from one Member State to another | | Publicado em: | In: ERA Forum. - Trier. - V. 17, n.º 1 (abril 2016), p. 119-129 | | Assuntos: | Direito da concorrência | Direito da União Europeia | Auxílio estatal | Formação judiciária | | Veja também: | Coughlan, John | | Localização: | |

| Título: | The relationship between the leniency programme and private actions for damages at the EU level | | Autor(es): | Alberto Saavedra | | Resumo: | The aim of this article is to assess the complementarity and interrelationship between public and private enforcement, on the on hand, and to discuss the several policy options put forward by the Commission that aim to find balance between the leniency programme and actios for damages, on the other hand. Our thesis is that the appropriate balance is obtained by limiting the incentives in the context of private enforcement only to the successful immunity applicant as a price for his contribution in the uncovering of a cartel and the need to preserve the attractiveness of the leniency programme. The incentives can be translated in terms of non-disclosure of evidence provided to the competition authority and limited liability. By contrast, all other cartelists and leniency applicants which only benefit from reduction shall not have any rewards when facing civil claims. The central role of role of the immunity applicant will provide the key to approach some of the problems that arise from the interrelation between leniency applications and damages claims, such as (i) the question on whether the enhancement of private actions as such will weaken the leniency mechanism and (ii) how a certain degree of protection can be guaranteed to the leniency applicant, in particular by discussing the various policies that limit the scope of the civil liability of the successful leniency applicant proposed by the Comission. | | Publicado em: | In: Revista de concorrência e regulação. - Coimbra : Almedina, 2010. - ISSN 1647-5801. - A. 1, Nº 4 (Out.-Dez. 2010), p. 21-51 | | Assuntos: | Direito da concorrência | Autoridade da concorrência | Autoridade reguladora | União Europeia | | Veja também: | Saavedra, Alberto | | Localização: | |

| Título: | The operation of ne bis in idem in the application of European Union competition law rules across the European Union : recent developments in the light of the Toshiba case | | Autor(es): | Michele Messina | | Resumo: | The recent judgment of the Court of Justice in the Toshiba case, originating from a preliminary ruling from the Regional Court in Brno, clarified some important issues concerning the relationship between the European Commission and the national competition authorities with regard to their actions in the application of European Union and national competition law rules respectively, and the operation of ne bis in idem within the European Union. The aim of the article is to highlight the most important findings like the confirmation of the Walt Wilhelm ruling with regard to the parallel application of European Union and national competition law and the operation of the principle of ne bis in idem. | | Publicado em: | In: ERA Forum. - Trier : ERA, [2000]- . - V. 13, n.º 2 (Agost. 2012), p. 163-171 | | Assuntos: | Carta dos direitos fundamentais da União Europeia | Direito da concorrência | Direito comunitário | Direito nacional | | Veja também: | Messina, Michele | | Localização: | |
